I am not pro-king but the people should have given a choice to choose or loose because it was too early to do many things at a time. His fate should be in the hand of Nepali. Nepali Army was united under king and loyal to country as they did to king. Maoist wanted to infiltrate army putting  his cadets and take over the power. Many of us read about the army general Rukmad Katwal, but he saved the army as a national guard but not a puppet of any party. I do not know how many of you believe it, he saved the army from Maoist infiltration.   Once gone, I think it is hard to be in, other than Indian will take part in restating his power. But I do not see that will be going to happen.

If king wants to stay as ceremonial and out of power than whats wrong about that? Nepalese politician will get one less reason to fight (for the post of president) and now I don't think there are any qualifying man for such big post !!!

Army had always been loyal to the king. You never know!

I agree with tamanglakola: Nepal army is in some way loyal to the King. Gynanedra avoided bloodshed by returning the power to its people on Bhadra 19th. If he wanted to use the force, RNA (at the time) could kill many in thousand. I wish he could have used army and Makune, Prachande, Girija, Gachhadar, Sujata, etc. all got killed at that time. All these idiots pushed the country a century backward.

just take a sneak preview on this site /GulfTimes.com-{Latest Update: Thursday23/9/2004September, 2004, 11:21 AM Doha Time}  mends on this matters: Thousands march in Nepal against king KATHMANDU: About 15,000 people marched in the Nepali capital on Tuesday to call for the restoration of a dissolved parliament and the formation of an all-party government in the biggest protest in the city for several months. Four political parties represented in a parliament dissolved by King Gyanendra in 2002 have vowed to press ahead with their protest campaign, after it was briefly suspended for the beginning of the rainy season. “The government is a pawn in the hands of the king,” said Ghanashyam Poudel, a member of the United People’s Front, one of the four parties behind the protest. King Gyanendra fired Prime Minister Sher Bahadur Deuba two years ago but reappointed him in June after sustained, often violent, protests by main political parties which said the constitutional monarch had grabbed power. The four parties behind Tuesday’s protest have not accepted Deuba’s reappointment, saying it was unconstitutional. Riot police put up barbed wire barricades to stop the protesters from marching on the king’s palace, as they paraded through Kathmandu carrying red and white party flags. “No to active monarchy,” read one placard carried by protesters. Some of them shouted: “We want democracy and peace.” Deuba was fired in 2002 for failing to control an insurgency by Maoist rebels, who have been fighting since 1996 to overthrow the monarchy and replace it with a communist state. In the latest violence, the army said 13 rebels were killed in several clashes on Monday and Tuesday in various parts of the mountainous country .... To the bitterness and burn-hand experience, does Nepal will rewrite history again nothings but rebel and anarchy instead of nation dev. progress..?.    hopefuly not....
